I encountered similar symptoms back when I started here, at around 2.2.6-R. My circumvention was to hack the amd maps in such a way that amd would recognize when the client & server had the same name: * If not, do the usual NFS stuff; * If so, instead of providing the illusion of an NFS mount, provide the illusion of a symlink. This is what allowed me to get anything at all done for the past several months.... I *thought* I had sent a note to one of the freebsd lists about it, including some of the stuff in the amd maps. If it appears to be of use, I'm certainly willing to share. (The note to the effect that "a weird imagination is most useful to gain full advantage of some of all the [amd] features" is well-advised.) And of course, I freely admit that the approach merely masks the problem.
